Sounds like a lifesaver for some...however, if you stop and take a second to think about it. Is this something you want for your children? You sign a permission slip at the beginning of the year thinking this will save you time, you are consenting for a dental cleaning or and eye check, but saving a few hours might put you and your child at a disadvantage.
How you ask?
Say your child is having a bad day or bad week. The teacher sends the student to the SBHC to speak with a counselor. That counselor diagnoses him/or her as depressed. Writes a prescription (without your consent). Sends him to a pharmacy where their privacy is assured. Maybe he has a reaction or shouldn't be on the medication to begin with. He/she comes home, is distant, moody, quiet. Possibly suicidal or heaven forbid, commits suicide due to the medication (given to him/her without parental consent).
Your daughter goes to the SBHC because thinks that she is pregnant. Were you aware that schools will arrange for YOUR child to have an abortion without your knowledge or consent. They will supply your child with contraceptives without your permission.
Your child goes in to talk about becoming a different sex. Schools are facilitating reassignments (without your knowledge or consent).
Think it sounds far fetched. Here is a link to and ABC new story about a Seattle high school that arranged for a students abortion, sans parental consent or knowledge.
